physical

[Undead body]

Korekiyo Shinguji is dead, to begin with. The death itself was not a pleasant ordeal, but then he woke up from death to find that his body's become skeletal from the neck down. What flesh is left on his head would clearly be pale and sickly if he didn't use so much makeup on it on a regular basis.

[Disconnected Head]

Actually, the phrase "from the neck down" would be a bit of a misnomer. He doesn't actually have a neck, which means his head isn't actually attatched to the body. Even if the frabric on the bottom of the mask made it look like the neck was still there, one could easily steal the head off his shoulders and run off with it, leaving the body disoriented.

["Armored" Mask]

That strange facemask he always wears in public is now permanently attatched to his face, for better or worse. In theory, he could still eat through it, but how would he do that if he doesn't have a digestive system?

[Weakness]

Aside from the disembodied head problem, if his phylactery (detailed under the Inventory tab) is ever destroyed, he will die. It's such a fragile thing, and he will need it on his person in order to feed...

[The Hunger]

Korekiyo feeds in a way similar to a hone onna. He uses his affinity for decay on humans to rot them to the bone. Unfortunately, to satisfy the hunger within him, he must have his phylactery nearby when he's feeding, thus making himself more vunerabe when he does. Strangely enough, he only seems to target innocent women...

[Fog Form]

Korekiyo does not have a fog form... Yet.

Powers

[Regeneration]

Korekiyo cannot be killed by normal means. If his body is destroyed, he will simply reappear near his phylactery in a matter of hours. How long depends on how many times he has to do this; The first time it will take two hours to regenerate, the second time it takes three hours, and so on up to a maximum of 24 hours. Luckily this counter resets at the beginning of the month somehow.

[Manipulation of Body (head)]

Apperently, this is what's keeping Kiyo's head on his shoulders. It just floats in the spot where it's supposed to be when it's not detatched. He's lucky his head doesn't become unresponsive when detatched from the body, but really? It's a head. It can't walk back to the body or anything.

[Affinity for Decay]

Korekiyo possesses a sort of magic that can inflict decay on humans by touch. In this way, he can shut down a human's senses, inflict terror or fear, bestow insomnia or nightmares, numb sensation or control of limbs, or kill the cells of their victim's body, prematurely aging them or causing their body to rot. Prolonged physical contact is needed for more intense symptoms, and though these damages can be permanent when inflicted on a human, they would last a maximum of one hour on another monster.
Strangely enough, these powers also work on inorganic objects. Used the same way as his organic decay magic, Korekiyo can rust metals to break locks, rot through or weaken floorboards, or make clothes threadbare. As an anthropologist, though, he tries not to do this with precious artifacts unless he finds it absolutely nessicary.

Inventory

[Phylactery]

Kiyo's heart/soul/lifeforce has somehow attached itself to the locket he once wore around his neck. It tends to bleed a few minutes before he regenerates. At the moment, he's keeping it in his room at Castle Mirai, but he will be looking for a more secure place to store it.

Mandatory

Death. Korekiyo will have the wonderful pleasure of dying a slow, painful death from whatever coughing up blood disease his classmate Kaito was hiding. You tend to lose a lot of blood when your heart's trying to escape from your chest.

Phylactery. Kiyo's heart/soul/lifeforce will somehow attach itself to the locket he once wore around his neck. It tends to bleed a few minutes before he regenerates at it.

Disconnected limbs and extremities. Specifically, his head will detach from the rest of his body.

Manipulation of body. Kiyo's head can move around his torso like it did in life, but is also detachable. Please don't steal his head, you heathens.

Deathly body. Kiyo becomes a skeleton from the neck down. The remaining flesh is on his head has turned a deathly pale.

An affinity for decay. Decay magic! Kiyo can decay someone on touch, which can also shut down a human's senses, inflict terror or fear, bestow insomnia or nightmares, numb sensation or control of limbs, or kill the cells of their victim's body, prematurely aging them or causing their body to rot. Prolonged exposure is required for the nastier effects, and if he tries decaying a monster the effects will wear off in an hour.

The Hunger. Much like the hone onna, Kiyo feeds by draining the life force of humans, causing them to rot until they're nothing but bone. He has to have his locket on him when he feeds.

Regeneration. If Kiyo's body is destroyed, he will eventually regenerate near his locket. It takes a while, starting at 2 hours the first time and then adding on an hour every subsequent regeneration up to 24 hours. This counter resets every month. The only way to truly kill him is to destroy his locket, which won't be very difficult at all...

Optional

An "armored" helmet or mask. This is actually the same exact mask he always wears, except it's permanently stuck to his face. At least he doesn't need a special mask to eat anymore!

Absent body parts. Remember when I said he was skeletal from the neck down? Turns out, he doesn't actually have a neck anymore. Not even neck vertebrae. There is only cloth hanging from his mask.

The ability to cause inorganic decay. Just like he decays organic matter, he can cause objects to rot or rust. Very inconvenient for someone who likes ancient artifacts and such.

Quick escape. Once per day, Kiyo can demanifest himself and reappear near his locket. It's a one way trip, and he can't bring anyone or anything with him. Doesn't count towards his regeneration time decay.
